maltatoday, SUNDAY, 2 OCTOBER 2016 35 This Week Boutique publisher Ede Books releases Inside Skin, two print-on-demand companion volumes melding poetry and photography THE boutique publisher Ede Books will be once again teaming up with poet Miriam Calleja for a unique publication event. Inside Skin will be a two-part book series in which Calle- ja's poetry will be presented side-by- side with black-and-white nude pho- tography by Zvezdan Reljic. The book series, which will be of- ficially launched on October 13, is offered on a print-on-demand basis, meaning they will only be available via pre-order from the Ede Books website. Calleja's previous poetry collection, Pomegranate Heart, was published in a very limited edition by Ede Books in 2015, and its heady blend of confes- sional angst and sensuality has be- come a staple of local poetry readings and open mic sessions ever since. The collection's popularity among a small but dedicated readership led to the printing of a second edition this year. With Inside Skin – each word de- notes the separate volume of the two-part series – Calleja will present 30 poems alongside an equal number of nude photographs, hand-printed using the lith process by Zvezdan Reljic, with each edition of the book containing 136 pages. Each poem and print will carry its own cover page. Ede books was formed by Zvezdan Reljic and David Pisani as a result of their shared passion for books and printing processes. The opportunity to put a project in book form arose with David Pisani's TRANSIT pro- ject, which was the catalyst to form Ede Books. With an unapologetic love for Japanese photobooks and graphic design and a tendency to search for photographers, artists and writers working on the fringe of so- ciety, Ede Books aspires above all to produce quality books of meaningful and contemporary visual and edito- rial content. Inside Skin is edited by Antoine Cassar and Giola Cassar. To pre-or- der the two-part book series, log on to http://edebooks.eu/inside-skin/. A launch party for the series will be held at Architecture Project, Sap- pers Street, Valletta on October 13 at 19:00 Two-part book series aims to get under your skin
